USB Microscope Stand

I like these “cheap” USB microscopes as they are very useful to investigate problems on PCB's.However, the stand that comes with these microscopes is crap. I made this vertical adjustable stand for one of these USB microscopes that makes it much easier to get a clear focus and a stable image, even at the mx magnification of 500x. This design works with generic digital microscopes you can find on- AliExpress - Amazon - CircuitRocks - Alibaba If you experience problems with the threads moving badly, try to print the vertical adjust and the microscope slide with .12mm to get a smoother thread. Assembly is quite simple, just slide the parts together, fix it with 3 short (max 5 mm) small self-tapping screws and clip the camera into the holder.
